Unfortunately for Cluny, changing conditions in Spain caused the payments to cease in 1111, and this brought on a financial crisis during the abbacies of Pons of Melgueil (1109–22) and Peter the Venerable (1122–56).

Judas making a bargain with the priests, depicted by Duccio, early 14th century. In contrast to the extravagant act of the woman who anoints Jesus, Judas Iscariot (cf. ) plans a treacherous act, giving a clear distinction of selfless costly gift of what the woman has with the selfish thought for Judas' own gain albeit for a 'relatively paltry sum'. Here, Judas becomes an example of Jesus' followers who think of what they can get out of him, rather than how they can serve him.

"All our cases are an interpretation of what is unfair or deceptive and in violation of the FTC Act [...] Just as in any case law, whenever a case comes out, it enunciates a new interpretation of what the law requires. But alleging unfairness doesn't uniquely establish new policy in a way that deception doesn't." Some commentators have also expressed skepticism about the seemingly paltry sum of money that Gateway was required to pay as disgorgement for its ill-gained profits. Indeed, the $4,608 payment to Treasury was not regarded by anyone as a hefty fine.

Michaels has been with SNL for all seasons except for his hiatus in the early 1980s (seasons 6–10). His daughter, Sophie, has appeared in episodes, one of which was during the show's 30th season hosted by Johnny Knoxville during the monologue when Lorne introduces Johnny Knoxville to his daughter and Sophie shocks Knoxville with a taser. She also appeared in a sketch about underage drinking when Zac Efron hosted the show. Perhaps Michaels's best-known appearance occurred in the first season when he offered the Beatles $3,000 (a deliberately paltry sum) to reunite on the show.

Statue of Knox in New College, Edinburgh, by John Hutchison In his will, Knox claimed: "None have I corrupted, none have I defrauded; merchandise have I not made." The paltry sum of money Knox bequeathed to his family, which would have left them in dire poverty, showed that he had not profited from his work in the Kirk. The regent, Lord Morton, asked the General Assembly to continue paying his stipend to his widow for one year after his death, and the regent ensured that Knox's dependents were decently supported. Knox was survived by his five children and his second wife.

Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society 1999, Vol XCIX. The oldest part of the school, now known as Foundation opposite the Priory Church, was built by 1587. Thanks to an agreement with Queen's College Oxford, and the purchase of local tithes, the school prospered both financially and academically. Although specifically incorporated for the education of boys from Cumberland and Westmorland, as early as 1604 pupils from outside those counties were being educated at St Bees, but the school only slowly expanded. The school enjoyed financial security for many years, but this was threatened from 1742 onwards when Sir James Lowther fraudulently obtained an 867-year lease for the extensive mineral rights for a paltry sum, on which much of the prosperity of the Lowthers was built.

This followed a prolonged campaign of calumny mounted by Dr. Junaid, the fiery advocate of northern supremacy who Horsfall forcefully removed from the OMPADEC Board in 1995. In defence of his role and integrity, Horsfall claimed with authentic figures and statistics from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that during his three years of service in OMPADEC, the Commission had received only 11.48 billion naira approximately $133,488,372 from government through monthly disbursements from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and that with this paltry sum he had performed a near miracle by dotting the whole of the nine oil-producing states with several on-going, medium and major projects and actually completed and commissioned 102 such projects and put them in use by the various communities throughout those oil-producing states. Following the OMPADEC Commission's dissolution and the removal of Horsfall and his Board, five different investigation panels probed the allegations of corruption, uncompleted projects, and debts being owed by contractors to OMPADEC. These included a panel headed by the famous anti- corruption crusader Economics Professor Sam Aluko.
